Richard, Matthew et al,

In a VM, I installed a RHEL 7.0 and tried to install libguestfs-tools 
but I saw there were many errors related to missing repositories and 
other errors.

I wasn't able to cope with these issues.
So I tried to install another VM with CentOS 7.0, and I tried to install 
libguestfs-tools.

Another problem came from the too old version of glusterfs-api, so I 
added the lastest glusterfs repo definition, upgraded, and succeed in 
installing libguestfs-tools and virt-v2v.

Then I PXE-boot my source physical machine (well, at present, at test 
time, another VM but whatever), when getting the graphical prompt to 
connect to the conversion server, I get
"Failed to start virt-v2v-server on remote server".
though I witness the SSH connection is OK on the conversion server.

On this conversion server, I find no trace of any 
/usr/bin/virt-p2v-server binary.

See :

[root at serv-p2v-adm1 log]# rpm -qa virt-v2v
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.11.el7.x86_64

[root at serv-p2v-adm1 log]# rpm -qa virt-v2v
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.11.el7.x86_64

/usr/share/virt-p2v/p2v.service
/usr/share/virt-tools
/usr/share/virt-tools/rhev-apt.exe
/usr/share/virt-tools/rhsrvany.exe

Is this virt-p2v-server really missing, or is it done another way now 
we're on 7.x ?
I ask that because when comparing with the same rpm on a 6.6, it 
contains much more things, amongst them the binary server and the 
numerous perl scripts.
